Have you tried clearing CMOS?

At a guess, I'd say that the update either enabled or disabled ACPI. Windows will not boot if you change this setting after installation.

Check your cmos setup and restore ACPI to its previous state.

Also try disconnecting power cable temporarily, and pressing the power button on the case to flush the system memory.

Sometimes a technique similar to the above has enabled me to boot XP when some garbage in the system memory was causing a problem like yours.
